    And yet, here we are again...

    POWERFUL watch, specially now. Certain quotes will stay with me forever. It's so rare to find the kid's side of the story in this conflict, they're constantly used as media lure but no one hears FROM THEM.

    Here you see them telling their story through their eyes, you don't hear much of the incidents, just enough. What they really focus on is the aftermath, the impact this has on people too young to fully understand what's happening.

    Perfect, for people who don't understand what the situation was prior to the latest events, really shows you the hopelessness these children were already living in.

    It's a eye opener documentary

    This is such a powerful documentary that truly shows the reality. Kids are kids. All they need is love but in this young age they are just suffering. They have dreams, aspirations and it's so so painful that how everything fell apart for them. They don't deserve this, not only physically but they are suffering with PTSD and are in dire need of psychological, medical and educational help. After watching this I am truly praying for peace and happiness for them. I wish the world stop turning a blind eye towards them and be kind towards children who are innocent and needs a healthy environment to live.

    Gut wrenching and raw

    I was crying throughout the documentary and I don't cry easily. This movie takes the viewer through each child's life. It is heartbreaking to see how politics and weapons can destroy families and communities. Each and every one of these kids had dreams and hopes and a future yet they are born at a time when they must suffer needlessly. It is also really incredibly sad to wonder whether they are still alive or under the rubble of constant bombing by Israel. Are they still alive? Are their families with them? Do they have food and water? Or are they stuck in a cage-like prison fearing for their life. This is a must-view for anyone who wants to have a heart.

    The way I see the world changed now!

    This movie hit me deep. Never imagined how hard the life of a child can be. Never imagined the size of and scenery of massive distruction.

    After watching this movie I became appreciative of everything I have. I realised that no matter how hard my problems are they're nothing compared to a child wittiness his own brother get torn into pieces.

    The trauma is really. Children Gaza are prevented from having a childhood.

    I gave a 9 for the strong stories. The movie takes you to accompany 10 children and how were they affected by the war. I watched it on Netflix the translation was not the best tho.

    Startling look into the lives of Palestinian children in Gaza

    Children in Gaza are living in an open air prison and this documentary gives the clearest evidence of this. UN Schools, ambulances, homes, farms, no place is safe from bombings, they lose there caregivers, they suffer from PTSD from living under occupation and war their whole lives, they have no food, water, electricity and this film shows you exactly how they survive and tells you in their words, only theirs, not any adults, what they want from the rest of the world, as they watch this film.
